History

The museum building was originally part of the Beitun New Village, which was one of 134 military kindred villages in the city accommodating officers from the Republic of China Air Force rank major and above, including their families. Since the 2000s, there had been more and more families moving out from the area. The village was then renovated to preserve some of the iconic landmarks. One of the house was then turned into the Taichung Military Kindred Village Museum . The construction of the museum was completed in mid November 2014.[1]

Architecture

The museum space spans over an area of 660 m2.[1]

Transportation

The museum is accessible within walking distance southwest of Taiyuan Station of Taiwan Railways.
